I've been working on this for a few hours with my 6yo daughter, and finally got it finished this weekend.  It's a 4 ft square, and I was going to make a wallhanging, but she really likes snuggling with it on the couch (probably because of the lush minkee backing).

1 package Israeli cous cous (this is a larger size than standard)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup honey roasted walnuts (or any other kind of nut, finely chopped)
1 cup Craisins (dried cranberries)
1 bunch chopped fresh celery
1 tsp olive oil
1 fresh lemon, zested and juiced
salt and pepper

1.  In skillet with a tsp of olive oil, place nuts over medium heat.  Pan fry until the aroma really starts to fill the room (about 5-7 minutes).  Remove contents from pan and set aside.
2.  In skillet, add dried cous cous, and pan fry for 3 minutes.  Then add vegetable broth.  Stir slowly, keep over medium heat, until liquid is almost entirely absorbed (about 20 minutes)
3.  Add nuts, craisins, parsley, lemon zest and juice and mix well.  S & P to taste.


Can be served cold, but fresh off the oven is a great side dish or main with a nice salad.

Hi all!  I recently found a Jordan Marsh labelled sewing machine.  It's electric, all metal and beige, with no serial numbers or markings on it.  Based on it's appearance, it's at least 25 years old.  Wondering, have any of you heard of such a thing, and where I might find more info?  I've got my sew and vac guy on the case, too, but have found nothing online that's helpful.  I'll try to post a picture when I'm allowed to (I'm a new member and can't post 'em yet).  Thanks so much!
